This is the Hanomag 3-ton halftrack, loaded with Eduard Schwimmwagen and towing
the Kirin Nebelwerfer in 1/16 scale. The idea was taken from the Arnheim book,
where one image is showing a Famo carrying the Schwimmwagen. Measurements
were taken from the 3-ton Entgiftungskraftwagen in Munster.
The Hanomag is fully workable model, featuring all driving functions including
head & taillights, by remote control. Built from Polystyrol, brass,copper
and wood material, fitted with 0,6; 1; 1,2 up to 2 mm screws and nuts. The
canvas is an old trouser sewed on a machine by myself. Driver is done by using
“magicsculp” featuring head and hands from the 1/16 Tamiya Tiger
commander. The tracks and trackrollers were taken from the Tamiya Panther
converted with rubber pads, which, of course, historically & from a technical
point of view is not 100 % correct, but offered a perfect base for the remote
control idea. Painted with Tamiya acrylics; Humbrol and some pastels
